Kaguya's Demon Drug Dilemma

Kusuri

Behold! The Demon Confidence Elixir is complete!

Kusuri

This will help even the most prideful person express their true feelings!

Rimuru

Are you certain this is safe? Magical chemistry can be unpredictable.

Rimuru

Perhaps we should test it on something else first?

Kaguya

I don't need assistance expressing myself. But if this will prove my superiority...

Kaguya

Very well. I shall demonstrate my immunity to such trivial concoctions.

Kaguya

(What is this sensation? My chest feels warm and my thoughts are becoming unclear!)

Tomoko

Uh... Kaguya-san? You're turning really red...

Tomoko

(This is like watching a popular girl have a total meltdown... I actually feel bad for her.)

Kaguya

I... I can't control what I'm saying! This is absolutely mortifying!

Kaguya

Someone please make it stop before I say something even more humiliating!

Kusuri

Don't worry! I always prepare neutralizing agents!

Kusuri

This mint-flavored antidote will restore your emotional barriers!

Tomoko

Hey... being embarrassed doesn't make you weak, you know?

Tomoko

Sometimes showing your real feelings takes more courage than hiding them.

Kaguya

Thank you all... Perhaps being vulnerable isn't entirely beneath me.

Kaguya

(Maybe I don't always have to be perfect. These people accepted me even at my most embarrassing.)

Kaguya

This second formula appears more volatile than the first.

Kaguya

(My pride demands I prove these concoctions cannot affect someone of my caliber.)

Rimuru

Wait, Kaguya! That one hasn't been properly tested yet!

Rimuru

The magical resonance feels completely different from the first batch!

Kaguya

I refuse to be intimidated by mere chemistry!

Kaguya

Observe as I demonstrate my complete immunity to—

Kaguya

What is happening to me?!

Kaguya

(This is mortifying! Everyone can see my thoughts changing my appearance!)

Kaguya

Why did I say that out loud?!

Tomoko

Whoa... your hair is literally changing colors with your emotions!

Tomoko

(This is like watching a real-life anime transformation scene!)

Kusuri

This is a hybrid emotion-magic reaction! I need to counteract both components!

Kusuri

Rimuru, can you help stabilize her magical field while I work?

Tomoko

Hey, Kaguya... try to focus on steady breathing.

Tomoko

Sometimes when I'm overwhelmed, I just accept that it's okay to not be in control.

Kaguya

The effects are subsiding... though I appear to have retained a permanent reminder.

Kaguya

(Perhaps this silver streak will remind me that even I need others sometimes.)
